Scorch Trials #6

Sorry I haven't posted for a week, I'll do three posts on what has happened while I wasn't posting. So summery number six of The Scorch Trials. After Thomas was captured by Theresa and the rest of group B, he was taken back to their camp. Thomas meets two other girls who tell him that something has been up with Theresa and that she had been obsessing over capturing him and how to do it. I want to save some other content for the other posts, I'll post twice more of what I should have in the past week.

The Death Cure 1

So last time I posted, I was almost done with The Scorch Trials, but since then, I have started reading the last book in the trilogy, The Death Cure. Usually the last book in the series is the most painfully slow of the trilogy and so far, it is. The book starts out with Thomas in a room all by himself. The room looks like a room where they would put people with sraight jackets on. Then, the man who told the gladers to go into the desert appears in Thomas' room to tell him why he is there. He says that this was the last trial and he would be out of the room soon.  I stopped soon after this point. Nothing of interest happened after he is told he will be out soon. I'll continue to read and post what I should have when I didn't.

The Scorch Trials #5

Now that I am farther in the book, the series is starting to make a lot more sense. So, after traveling to yet another city, Thomas and the rest of group A meet group B and Theresa. When Thomas goes to approach Theresa, she hits him with a staff that she has. After that, she tells the rest of group A that she is going to take him back to her camp and if anyone follow them, they will kill Thomas. When Thomas tries to speak to Theresa, she continually punches him in the stomach. After a long trip, they arrive at Theresa's camp and let Thomas out of the bag. That is where I stopped. I'll read more and post at a later date.

The Scorch Trials theme

I still have not yet completed the book The Scorch Trials, but I think I have read enough to figure out the theme. What I think the theme is that everything is not as it seems. This is because Theresa, which is one of Thomas' best friends throughout the first book, makes him think she still likes him, but betrays him and kidnaps him in the part of the book I am at. She beat him up for trying to talk and threatens to kill him. Also, when Thomas gets an infected wound, he wakes up in a ship, but soon goes back to the wasteland he is traveling to. Over the course of the book, Thomas has found out that he is in a part of another trial, went through an extremely hot desert and met two people whom he thinks have the flare. Things such as what I have described have also happened over the course of the book, so that's what I have read so far. Still an interesting book, I'm about 100 pages from the end and I'll keep updating until then.
